Adds automation for generating the map of `gRPC Method Name → Rate Limit Type` used by the middleware introduced in #15550, and will ensure we don't forget to add new endpoints. Engineers must annotate their RPCs in the proto file like so: ``` rpc Foo(FooRequest) returns (FooResponse) { option (consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = { operation_type: READ, }; } ``` When they run `make proto` a protoc plugin `protoc-gen-consul-rate-limit` will be installed that writes rate-limit specs as a JSON array to a file called `.ratelimit.tmp` (one per protobuf package/directory). After running Buf, `make proto` will execute a post-process script that will ingest all of the `.ratelimit.tmp` files and generate a Go file containing the mappings in the `agent/grpc-middleware` package. In the enterprise repository, it will write an additional file with the enterprise-only endpoints. If an engineer forgets to add the annotation to a new RPC, the plugin will return an error like so: ``` RPC Foo is missing rate-limit specification, fix it with: import "proto-public/annotations/ratelimit/ratelimit.proto"; service Bar { rpc Foo(...) returns (...) { option (hashicorp.consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = { operation_type: OPERATION_READ | OPERATION_WRITE | OPERATION_EXEMPT, }; } } ``` In the future, this annotation can be extended to support rate-limit category (e.g. KV vs Catalog) and to determine the retry policy. |

Consul
Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
- Website: https://www.consul.io
- Tutorials: HashiCorp Learn
- Forum: Discuss
Consul provides several key features:
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
-
Service Mesh - Consul Service Mesh enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization. Applications can use sidecar proxies in a service mesh configuration to establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections with Transparent Proxy.
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
Consul runs on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows and includes an optional browser based UI. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
